    This particular label is an example of a co-op advertising program between Ore-Ida frozen french fries and Heniz Catsup. Catsup or Ketchup goes good on french fries, that's why Heinz is on ore-Ida's speed dial. (so that Ore-Idas can get ehinz fast) No doubt Ore-Ida french fries say something about Heinz.

    Brook's ketchup is really good, and almost as cheap as store brand. On another note...and I did not dream this..really..When I was a kid, Moms Mabley had her own brand of ketchup. Someone please tell me that I didn't visit another dimension. I've searched the net and come up empty. And if you know who Moms was, you're old too...[:D]

    Brooks catsup used to be even better. It was called Brooks Tangy catsup. Sometime in the 70's they changed it to make it sweet like hunts. Sigh, another childhood favorite bites the dust...

    Yea, the bottle still says "Rich and Tangy", but they went more mainstream to taste like Hunts and Heinz. I still prefer it though.

    Speaking of Heinz, do any of you remember who Theresa Heinz was married to before she married Kerry? You'd be surprised.

    Heinz has had a series of funny ads on some of their newer ketchup bottles. One of my favorites said, "Can't help broccoli." or something similar.

    Yes I have noticed the labels saying different things.
    On a side note have you ever noticed that it has 2 spellings
    Ketchup and Catsup?

    I've heard of a few different off-the-wall labels on Heinz bottles over the past 2-3 years. If I remember correctly they had consumers submit sayings as part of a contest.

    BTW-If you hadn't guessed it by now, Ore-Ida is owned by Heinz.

    Here's some trivia for you:

    You can determine when your bottle came out by deciphering their product code. It has a six digit format that starts with two letters. The third digit indicates the year, the fourth will be the month (A=Jan, B=Feb, etc.) and the last two numbers are the day.

    Your higher quality brands spell it ketchup while the more generic brands spell it catsup.

    Heinz had a marketing campaign that asked for catchy little phrases
    from the public, like yours others had "mommy's other little helper"
    "redneck red gravy" and so on. Kinda wonder about that mommy's other
    little helper though.

    I got lucky. Married a lady that likes to cook and can- last time we had a surplus of tomatoes, she decided to make homemade ketchup- man that stuff is good! Cloves, cinnamon, honey- Altho thank heaven I caught her in time and explained the difference between 6 cloves of garlic, and 6 bulbs of garlic!!! That would have been ketchup classed as a persistent chemical weapon!

    I have a Heinz Ketchup bottle from the "Celebrity Label Series" (or some such thing) that proclaims:
